12oz bottle pours with a clear coppery amber body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up some roasted malts and pine hops that are playing well together with a thin ribbon of earthy sort of hoppiness in the background. The taste delivers a pleasing pine hoppiness that’s modestly bitter and resiny and is smoothly integrated with slivers of earthy and citrus hoppiness. Behind the hops murmurs malts and roasted malts and crystal malts. This is working out well. I like the firm hops and malty blend.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a one centimetre tan head. Aroma of ridiculous amounts of chocolate, roasted malt, raisins, figs and somehow, even more chocolate - smells just like a milk chocolate bar. Medium-bodied; Strong chocolate flavour with hints of coffee, earth, raisins and roasted malt, but the milk and chocolate flavours dominate, in a very good way. Aftertaste shows a good balance of bitter malt and earth and the pleasant sweetness from chocolate - great and well done. Overall, a great beer for the style with more chocolate flavour than I’ve experienced in a non (Chapeau Chocolate) gimmicky beer - a great example of a sweet porter, for sure. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 08-November-2014 for US$2,25 sampled at home in Washington at the start of a cold weather spree here at home on 23-January-2015.

Pours clear light golden with a small white head, some lacing. Aroma is bready, grassy and fruity. Taste is bready, mild caramel with a citrus bitterness in the finish
A nice, clean, easy drinking golden ale.

Interesting. It's a farmhouse that taste like a Belgian tripel. Boozy nose. Honey and malty taste.

12oz bottle. Poured a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma was notes of grapefruit, some pine resin. Chewy. Caramel, toffee, backing was nice. Alcohol is noticeable. Lots of serious warming.
